Chapter Twenty-Four: The Five Great Courtyards

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, there was a caravan that went to the four courtyards in the South Peak to transport a batch of goods. It is said that this batch of goods was very urgent for the four compounds at that time.

There are about 300 people in the line. Among them, there are some family members who are on the way. Because as long as this batch of goods is successfully delivered, the remuneration received, this life may be able to worry about food and clothing. With all the anticipation, the caravan set out on the way to the South Peak.

At that time, the Phantom Forest was just a wasteland, and there was no grass. On the other hand, the ghost village at that time was surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The caravan and his party couldn't help but sigh at the feng shui treasure here when they passed through the ghost village. And agreed, as long as this batch of goods is delivered, they will settle here, there are mountains, water, and a group of people, isn't it happy? The people of the caravan obviously liked this place very much, and they agreed on it.

When climbing the South Peak, the weather conditions were very bad, with heavy rain mixed with thunder and lightning, and strong winds from time to time. Seeing this, the people in the caravan were hesitant to climb the mountain at this moment, but there were only 2 days left before the time required by the four compounds.

Due to the weather, the group decided to rest for a day and wait for a little better weather the next day before going up the mountain. After all, this batch of goods was very important to the four compounds that were developing at that time.

The next day, the weather gradually improved, and early in the morning, the whole caravan was in good spirits and walked towards the mountain at a faster pace. Soon the crowd arrived before dark, but they were also very tired from the high speed of climbing. At that time, it was the people of the Soul Courtyard who received this caravan. The previous four courtyards were not called the four courtyards, but the five major courtyards, which also included the soul courtyard. And in the soul courtyard, it is the gathering place of the soul body, the soul thing. At that time, the establishment of this department was also controversial, but in the end, with the help of the other four colleges, it was still opened without danger.

In this way, under the leadership of the Soul Courtyard and his party, the goods were successfully unloaded. Looking at the gloomy sky, the caravan also decided to stay for the night.

But at that time, the vice president of the Soul Courtyard of the Five Great Courtyards was waiting for this batch of goods to be robbed, and almost except for the people of the Soul Courtyard, the other four courtyards were dispersed to other places. The people of the Soul Courtyard are not like other races, causing a catastrophe. The calamity caused by the soul crossing is not the heavenly thunder, but the soul, and the number is determined according to the strength of one's soul.

In this way, the sky has gradually darkened, and the dark mountain road and bad weather make it more difficult to go down the mountain again.

In this way, the caravan group temporarily settled in other faculties that were empty.

It was dark, and the caravan had extinguished the fire and prepared to sleep.

In the Soul Courtyard, after everyone arranged all the materials that were transported, in the compound, they were ready to meet the vice president's tribulation, once this calamity was safely passed, the master of the Soul Courtyard would also catch up with the other four courtyards, all of which had two Tribulation Realms.

"The people of the other four courtyards have dispersed!" the vice dean asked the person who received the goods before.

"The dean has all dispersed, but the caravan—" said the one who received the goods.

"Why don't you take them to a safe place quickly, why do you hesitate about such a matter of life, have you forgotten the purpose of our Soul Academy? After saying that, the vice president of the Soul Academy closed his eyes, the hour had come, and he was ready to usher in his own calamity.

The people in the caravan who had just fallen asleep were woken up by the people who came to the Soul Courtyard.

"Everyone, follow me to the underground library to rest first, and the vice president will survive the soul tribulation here. "The people of the Soul Courtyard hurriedly dared to go to the library with sleepy and puzzled faces of the caravan.

In the main courtyard, the vice president was suspended in the sky, his eyes closed. The souls of the transparent body began to slowly gather around. The soul is very quiet, quiet like the air around it, except for the appearance, the rest is no different from the gas. Gradually, the number of transparent souls began to increase. Surrounded the vice president of the Soul Academy. And the caravan is about to arrive at the library.

At this moment, the vice president suddenly opened his eyes, and with it, the souls around him also opened their eyes one after another, scarlet eyes.

"Give me back my life..."

"Soul life, I don't share the sky with you!"

...

In an instant, the entire sky was filled with an unparalleled resentment.

"Oops! Hurry, follow up, hurry!" the people in the Soul Courtyard hurriedly shouted to some ordinary people behind them who had no internal strength. The people of the caravan, who realized that something was wrong, also stepped up. Just a few hundred meters away from the underground library. The sky has changed.

The whole sky was blood-red, and the soul in the sky rushed to the vice president as if it was crazy. The vice president had obviously been prepared for a long time, and directly separated a clone, holding a roulette wheel, to resist the attack of the soul. Gradually, the number of souls decreased. At this time, the soul suddenly sensed that there was a group of living people under him. Kill the caravan on the ground. Seeing this, the vice president also became impetuous, and in this impetuous moment, there were dozens of resentful spirits around him again. Suppressing the irritability in his heart, holding the roulette wheel to resist the spirits in the sky.

"Ahh "A woman who had been put last was suddenly pulled to the ground, rolling and struggling, and the slow struggle stopped, her eyes wide open, and she was dragged backwards by her soul with a look of despair.

Seeing this, the people in front of the caravan and the people from the Soul Courtyard immediately came back to support, and walked towards the library while resisting the spirits around them. However, an ordinary caravan could withstand so many soul armies. In a few moments, half of the caravan disappeared.

When the captain of the caravan saw this, he immediately asked all the children and women to run towards the library, and the men were behind them to block the souls that were killed in the sky.

Gradually, the number of people in the caravan decreased one by one, and after absorbing the essence of the living, the illusory bodies became more condensed.

The vice president in the sky was faced with the undiminished but increasing spirit, coupled with distraction, and also realized that this catastrophe was in danger.

Eventually, the sky began to lighten, and the soul was weakened by the sun. The deputy dean looked at the hundreds of people in the caravan at his feet, and all of them fell around the library with hideous expressions. The heart is very hideous.

"If we live in the world, can't we live a normal life? Are we here to harm the world?" the vice president began to deny himself and began to ask himself vigorously. Gradually, the body of the vice president began to become illusory with the continuous questioning of himself, and when the other four deans of the four courtyards came in a hurry, the vice president's expression was hideous, and his body was slowly broken, and his soul flew away and dissipated in the air.

The four courtyards urgently convened on the issue of the Soul Courtyard. At first, everyone still chose to keep the Soul Courtyard, after all, one of the five major courtyards is indispensable. But gradually, the public opinion of the outside world was crazy about rumors, and the presidents of the other four courtyards had no choice but to announce that the soul courtyard was officially removed. On the day of the announcement, the director of the Soul Academy silently came to the location of the current ghost village, built a village here, and guided the soul of the caravan here.

Although it was difficult for the people of the caravan to accept this, it was not easy to survive in such a way that the matter had come to this. And he didn't care about it anymore. And all the people of the Soul Courtyard at that time also came to the ghost village, and they never asked about the world. As for the dean, he still doesn't know where he went. There are two rumors in the world, the first is that the dean is incognito and no longer cares about the world. The second and most widely spread theory is that the dean of the Soul Academy is no longer in this sky and is heading to the rest of the planes. Of course, there is no answer to which one it is.

With the passage of time, the guilt of the Four Courtyards for the Soul Courtyard has always remained in the bottom of their hearts, and in order to let them exist in another way in the Four Courtyards, one of the entrance examinations was set up in the ghost village, the purpose is not only to examine the courage of the candidates, but most importantly, to let the candidates know that the Soul Academy has always existed.

...

In the carriage of the Bai family, everyone gathered in a circle to listen to Pu Yu finish telling the story of the ghost village. After listening to it, everyone was shocked.

"The white girl should also know that the open space in front of the library of your four major courtyards must take a detour every time you pass by, and this rule has been decided for this matter since then. Pu Yu picked up the tea and took a sip. After talking so much at once, Pu Yu also felt dry mouth.

Xiao Huaichun and Xiao Qing were still quiet in the story just now, and Xiao Qing was even more excited to dance, wanting to go to this ghost village to have a look soon.

"Prince Puyu, is this thing true?" Although Bai Liangqiu was also shocked by what Pu Yu said, he was still a little skeptical about the authenticity of this matter. What happened thousands of years ago is a little suspicious to talk about it now.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the fifth floor of the library, where there is a history of the four courtyards, which is explained in detail on the first few pages. ”

"The fifth floor of the library? that's the Academy's off-limits area, this—." Bai Liangqiu gasped and looked at Pu Yu in front of him in surprise.

Pu Yu also realized that this matter seemed unacceptable for the time being, so she didn't mention it, and changed the topic and hurriedly brought it over. Bai Liangqiu was also very knowledgeable, and did not delve into it. Gradually, the distance between everyone and the ghost village is getting closer and closer. But the instability of the Bai family's Yueyue Spirit Body also made everyone very worried.

Just now, another wagon was frozen into ice, but this time there were no casualties. The Bai family's convoy also collectively stopped to observe the situation in Yueyue.

"White girl, this time you must let me know, I'm afraid that if you go on like this, you won't be able to participate in the assessment normally when you go to the ghost village. ”

Bai Liangqiu looked in the direction of Granny Shadow, who nodded at Bai Liangqiu.

"Prince Pu Yu is in trouble!" Bai Liangqiu took a step back and motioned for Pu Yu to enter the carriage.

Pu Yu nodded and asked Xiaoqing to wrap a rattan around her waist in case of emergency, then took out the white cloth, wrapped the white cloth around her hand, and walked in.

The temperature inside the carriage was extremely low, and Pu Yu couldn't help but shiver as soon as she entered. Waiting for the severe cold, Pu Yu slowly approached Yueyue, who was unconscious at this time, and slowly approached her hand. As soon as I touched it, I found that the previous seal was gone, and what I had feared did not happen. A thin layer of ice appeared on top of the white cloth on the cover. When she was done, Pu Yu exited the carriage and unfurled the white cloth in her hand.

"Ice Body!"
